Russian propaganda TV has issued a chilling warning aimed at France.
Kremlin Threatens to “March on Paris”
Kremlin propagandists claimed Russian troops could one day be “on the Champs-Élysées,” a direct threat to the French capital.
It marks the latest in a series of escalating verbal attacks on Western leaders.
Macron Calls Putin “a Predator and an Ogre”
The trigger came during an interview with French TV network LCI.
President Emmanuel Macron described Vladimir Putin as “a predator and an ogre at our doorstep.”
His blunt words sparked outrage in Moscow and set off a furious media counterattack.
Kremlin Media Labels Macron “Public Enemy Number One”
Russian state outlets moved quickly to brand Macron as a top target.
Commentators said the French president was now “public enemy number one” in Kremlin propaganda.
It is only the latest time that Moscow personally vilify Western leaders.
Solovyov: “Macron Will Be Polishing Russian Boots”
Leading propagandist Vladimir Solovyov unleashed a vicious rant on his talk show.
He warned that Russian forces could march to Paris and humiliate France.
“Macron will be polishing the boots of a Russian officer,” he declared.
Putin’s Ally Evokes NATO Fears
Solovyov repeated Putin’s long-standing complaints about NATO expansion.
He said: “Originally, back in December 2021, we stated that NATO moving closer to our borders was unacceptable.”
Moscow insists the West is forcing its hand.
“What If Missiles Are Launched From Kharkiv?”
In his broadcast, Solovyov raised the specter of NATO bases in Ukraine.
“What if missiles are launched from Kharkiv?” he asked viewers.
The line echoed Putin’s narrative that Russia’s war is defensive, not aggressive.
Historical Echo: Russia in Paris, 1814
Propagandists also pointed to history as a warning.
They reminded audiences that Russian troops last entered Paris in March 1814, after Napoleon’s defeat.
This was used as evidence that the Kremlin could once again “march on Paris.”
France Pushes Security Guarantees for Ukraine
The threats come as NATO leaders discuss security guarantees for a postwar Ukraine.
France, along with the UK and Estonia, has even floated sending peacekeepers.
Moscow’s hostile rhetoric suggests it sees France as a growing obstacle.
